Bills Approved by Governor
Forty-Six Important Measures
Get Executive Approval.
Governor Morrison's signature was >
affixed on March 11 to 45 bills passed by
the seventh legislature, including many
of the most important measures of the
session.
The governor's approval of the bill
making an appropriation for a bridge
across Snake river at American Falls
is a well deserved compliment to Rep
resentative Burke of Blaine county,
who has worked unceasingly for the
measure since the day of its introduc
tion, smoothing over obstacle after ob
stacle until the governor placed the
signed bili in his hands.
Representative McBride of Lemhi
county is also rewarded for his labors
by having the satisfaction of notifying
his constituents that the governor had
approved the bill allowing an appro
priation for a bridge over the Salmon
river near Salmon City.
Not the least important of the ap
proved bills is that paying a bounty
of 1 cent per pound on all sugar manu
factured in Idaho during 1905 and half
a ce»t per pound on the product of 1904.
It is doubted by some that any bounty
will be claimed but the measure is ex
pected to attract capital to the state
and encourage beet culture.
An important bill to farmers is the
bill prohibiting the importation, sale or
running at large of stock afflicted with
contagious or infectious diseases. It
provides that affected stock must be
20 yards distant from public highways
and prescribes heavy penalties for the
violation of the law. Indian ponies
afflicted with mange are marked for
slaughter and farmers will be compelled
to keep a close watch on their diseased
stock.
The taxation of live stock is also af
fected by two or more of the bills ap
proved yesterday and manner oi taking
np, advertising snd caring for estray
stock is materially changed by the bill
prepared by Representatives Burke and
Pyke.
A number of measures affecting
schools and school funds are included
in the list.

A Brief Sketch of Its
Origin and Prospects.
The plan of The American Society ot
Equity is a national society at Indiana
polis, Ind., called the Nation Union,
with one or more branches, called Local
Unions, at every postoffice in the coun
try. There are state organizers and
district organizers whose duty it is to
organize the local unions and to keep
them organized. They are paid a sal
ary and required to make the interests
of the society their principal business,
the same as the agents of insurance
companies have been dung
There are over (>.000,(190 fanners in
the United States, and the members of
this society will soon reich au immense
number. Each member will be a crop
reporter, through tlie secretary of his
union, on blanks furnished him There
is an official paper, Up-to-date Farming
and Gardening, that will bo issued four
times a month and will go to each mem
ber. It will contain a summary of all
the crop reports and a report on mar
kets with advice and recommendations
about marketing.
It will be the duty of the board of
directors to tix a minimum (lowest)
price on each crop when produced
based on the production and con
sumption. This price will be expected
to hold good until another crop is raised
It will not prevent any person from
holding their crops for higher prices, if
in their judgment they will be higher in
the future, also an advance will be al
lowed monthly of about lc a bushel oil
wheat, lc on corn. etc., to equal inter
est, shrinkage, etc
The system of crop reporting, when
the American Society of Equity is in
working order, will be the greatest ever
undertaken or accomplished, while the
bulletin or paper going to every mem
ber once a week will give them all the
same advice at the same time so they
can all act as one man in marketing.
This will be in great contrast when the
farmers in one state don't know what
the farmers in the other states are doing.
In fact tln> farmers on the east side of
town don't know when the farmers on
the west side are going to market.
REASONS FOR THE SOCIETY'S SUCCESS.
to
This is tlie age of combinations and
co-operation. Every other business of
any importance is co-operating. Cap
ital co-operates, so does labor. The
farmers are the only large class who are
each doing business independent of the
others, and each are working against
the other instead of holding his neigh
bors up. Farmers want to co-operate
now. There is a great sentiment all
over the country for co-operation, and
it lias been growing for years There
are many local co-operative societies
scattered in the various states now, but
at best they can accomplish but little,
because of the competition of people in
the same lines who are not working
with them. In a country such a ours
and a business such as farming, (cover
ing every branch of the business), co-op
eration must lie national to secure de
finite and maximum results and must
embrace every commodity they produce.
Such is the plan and scope of the Amer
ican Society of Equity.
Give close attention to this statement.
Farmers are first hands for nearly all
the commodities that make up the
wealth of the country and the world.
That is. they have the goods first they
produce them. Therefore, they are in
a position, if co-operating, to put any
price on them they choose. If they
would ask $3.00 a bushel for wheat.
$1.00 a bushel for corn, 50 cents a pound
for cotton. $1.00 a pound for wool and
all co-operate to secure these prices, the
balance of the people must pay them, or
starve or go without clothing. The far- I
mers' goods are absolutely necessary to
the business of the world, to the life
and comfort of people and animals.
Mr. Farmer, you may now realize tlie
position you occupy in the world's in
dustries. Goods as much desired as
yours should be sought after instead of
being thrust on the public as in the past.
Stop marketing for only a week and in
convenience will be experienced
throughout tlie world: another week and
distress would be widespread : a month
and you would bring every industry in
the country to the verge of ruin. Think
of these things. Think of the odium
that has been attached to your business
Think of the sentiment in the towns and
cities against you, when the bootblacks
sing.
When Rube comes to town
He is sure to be done brown.
Then consider trie power you hold to
make your own terms with the richest
I and most influental. even to presidents
' and kings Give ns i fair portion of
the farmers as members of the Aineri
can Society of Equity and we will guar
antee as definite result
in marketing
farm crops as in marketing plows, mow-j
ers, harvesters, etc, when the maim
facturer never makes up a lot of goods
expecting the purchaser to put his own
price on them.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of Chaiuhcr
Inin's Cough Remedy.
When I had an attack of the grip
last, winter, the second one, 1 actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy,'' says Frank
W. Perry editor of the Enterprise.
Shortsvilfe, N. Y. "This is the honest
truth. 1 ut times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
ful of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at. night I
would take a dose and it seemed that in
the briefest interval the cough would
pass off and f would go to sleep perfect
ly free from cough and its accompany
ing pains. To say that the remedy acted
as a most agreeable surprise is putting
it very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or <'011111 knock out the grip,
simply because 1 had never tried it for
such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy caused it to not only bo of less
duration, bill the pains were far less
severe, and 1 had not used the contents
of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid
me adieu." For sale by all druggists.
Editors are Authority.
Tlie editor of the Malad Enterprise is
authority for the following:
■ Bggs which are oval and smooth at
tlie etui will produce pullets, but those
more nearly pointed and rougli at the
small end will hatch out roosters. This
looks like a humbug, but it will prove
true every time. Try it.
